Lol wasnt it a guy from Melbourne that shot that Jac fella in the bicep and some random chick in the stomach at Robina Town Centre on GC a few months back?
Ummm yeah could have been. I'll write him off as the exception that proves the rule.
Two caveats, every time I drive past in the evening, it looks packed. .
Results Based Training (Thistlewait St, south melb), is just around the corner from Olympia gym - give that a look, has a big grassed area for plyometrics, and a weights are. Not flash, but goes ok.
also Bodyworld Balaclava, as equipped as you could want a gym.
Had a free pass for Recreation South Melbourne, so gave them a go last night.
Was surprisingly popular and equipment was packed in more tightly than I'm used to. That said I got what I needed - but given that most of the stuff there is machine based, I was just lucky I think. I saw one person doing (not very deep) squats - but can't recall if it was a Smith machine or squat rack though, but didn't see anywhere else to do them.
Was lots of posters covering the walls, each advertising a different PT. FF tends to advertise all their PT's centrally as if they actually work for FF, so that was a change.
Recreation may be closer to what a lot of gyms are re: the gear the have etc, given my experience really is limited to the Platinum QV.
So yeah not a bad place but not suited for me.
i just finished up a membership at a re-creation in the outer western suburbs. for a commercial gym i really couldn't say a bad thing about it, 2 squat racks, allowed to deadlift, plenty of free weights, no lines for machines, minimal amount of "brahs" and reasonable pricing. only thing i hated was the hyper extension bench was upstairs so i had to walk up their every time i wanted to use it but the cardio bunnys were up there anyway so it was worth the walk. only reason i didnt renew was ive set up my home gym again in my garage and theres not much i cant do in there that i need a commercial gym for.
